If you are satisfied, you can continue your subscription and pay monthly or annually.

Currently, Intel ViiV technology-based PCs allow users to view videos locally on their PC, sync with portable devices and share content with other home devices including large-screen TVs. Burn-to-DVD is currently available in personal PC and 2-foot interface.

The Burn-to-DVD service enhancement allows consumers to watch videos in large screen viewers, such as a 10-foot interface, in their own home. A 10-foot interface is a device with menus and buttons which enables the viewer to be approximately 10 feet away from the TV set. The distance can be either shorter or longer depending on the size of the screen. Microsoft Windows Media Center is an example of this. It will be available in the early part of the year. Intel will demo the ViiV optimized Burn-to-DVD at CES 2007.
